WOOOOOOOOOOO!!!🎉🎉🎉

I just discovered how to make my own custom brushes in krita.

I also wanted to practice backgrounds and found this video on YouTube. It's actually pretty easy. Did this one in about two hours.

(and yes, I was too lazy to draw a character in. If you want, feel free to draw your character in 😄)

Edit: I just now realised that the shadows of the railings aligned perfectly next to each other. That was not intentional 😂

Tadaaa! Lineart is done! Now I need to draw in the shadows and start coloring.

Here the links for the finished piece and the sketch.

Some time ago (It was only a couple of weeks, beginning of July) I played around a little with game developing. (Well yes. I am doing a lot because I cannot decide what I like the most.)

I just copied a player script from the Godot website and tried that a little. Then I copy pasted some Luigi-textures to represent the character sprites and it felt fun.

Next step, I wanted to make my own textures for a character but had no idea where really to start, so I started making the basic skeleton model in pixel art. (currently just 4-directional but I'll bother to add the other directions later. And I currently have no animations, just the model facing all 4 sides.)

Currently, I am trying to make a character sheet for one of my OCs from my story "In-Between" and of course, I'm struggling with that for unexplainable reasons. (as always)

BUT I just opened up a music video with a pixel-art-thumbnail and I was like, some time ago, I did something like that, didn't I? So, I went back to my old files and opened up my template and started causually painting out my character and OH BOY, THAT LOOKS GOOD AND I HAVEN'T EVEN STARTED SHADING YET!

And yeah, I didn't do the face yet XD

And here the old concept I based it on. I think I just changed the hair.

And some more information about him:

That's Blake, Guardian of Time. He can manipulate how time works for certain objects or living beings. Also, he can time travel but he's being careful with his powers since he's trying to avoid creating paradox timelines.

I wanted to write something more about his duty, but figured I have no idea why he needs to guard the time. I was just like, someone needs to make sure that we have no spacial interference between worlds. Why not add timelines to the mix? Blake was born.

I was trying the Loomis method for heads after seeing the first 10 minutes of this video and I finally figured out how to draw 3/4 faces appropriately 😁

Use a sphere, chop the sides off and draw 90° guidelines onto the sides. These guidelines determine the way a character is facing.

Good news, now I'm at 2 min.

Bad news, I don't know how to continue.

Well, here I am again, telling myself to start small and then wanting to whip out a 3 min animation.

Just drew this dude. I think studying the mha artstyle really improved my artstyle. I love him ❤️ and it didn't really take that long to draw that.

Also, take some sketches I did beforehand:

I don't know his name yet, but I think his quirk would be something with superspeed. (Might call it slowmotion or reverse slowmotion, depends on how I'll make it work.)

I really like the idea that he has always a pair of sunglasses with him, to avoid dust getring into his eyes while in superspeed. And also to be the coolest kid around 😎

Also his quirk shows in his personality. He's mostly impatient since everything is going too slow for him.

His hero idol is Hawks. He definetly aims to become quicker than him to claim the title as fastest hero.

I finished the sketch and figured out what colors I want to use. It was so difficult to find the right mix of pencils to get somewhat the right hair color. (I went through all pencils and markers I had and none of them were just what I needed 😥)

Now next up is the lineart. I'm actually quite scared of the coloring with the markers because I already figured out that they bleed a little on the paper. And since for the tounge I wanted to mix two colors it will be pretty dificult.

Here the sketch a little more visible:

And the links to the finished lineart and the colored piece.

I have read such a nice concept of an AU that I immediately wanted to draw the character from it ❤ (took me some time, but here it is!)

That's Asher from Ambertale. He belongs to @billygoat26

Hope you like it 😁

Just to prove that this hand looks like the one from the scene:

And yeah, I have no idea why I drew this. And ignore the arm from the hand.

Name: Zero

Age: 19

Gender: human - male

Ability: code sight

Backstory

After Zero fell to the underground, he gained his strange power to see the world around him in code. Over time he befriended Monsterkind and even found a monster he fell in love with. He developed a technique to change the code of objects he is seeing. One day, his love dies due to an unknown disease. In all his grief, Zero deletes his worlds and discovers that other Aus exist. Then he creates the place he calls 'backdoors'  to have a place to stay between worlds. After some time has passed and he watched several AUs, he saw Ike accidentally destroying his own AU and being the only survivor. First, he didn't plan on interacting, but in the end, his humanity got the better of him and since then, he's taking care of Ike and acting as his older brother.

Abilities

Zero sees the world differently than others. He can see the code of objects. He can also summon a holographic keyboard and screens. He developed a technique where he would add changes to code into a window and then attach that window to a certain object to change it.

Appearance

He is wearing an armless grey cloak, which is glowing cyan from the inside. The light blue stripes on his cloak and boots glow a little in the dark. He has fingerless dark grey gloves and shoulder plates attached to his right arm. These shoulder plates are for him to defend himself in case of close combat. Below his cloak, he is wearing his training outfit. He has a cyan streak in his hair and his left eye is only a blue ring. That eye is directly connected with his powers.

Personality

Before his love died, Zero promised her to not change. Due to that and his soul trait being integrity, he kept his distance from all Aus and decided to not interact. After taking care of Ike, the boy almost forced him with his cherish mood to open up and from time to time interact with other Aus to get Ike out of trouble. By now, Ike grew like a little brother to him and Zero is more than happy to be his cool big bro.
